Many patrons praise the restaurant for its delicious Portuguese charcoal chicken, excellent piri piri sauce, and generous portion sizes at reasonable prices. While several customers highlight quick and friendly service that enhances their dining experience, others report significant inconsistencies, including issues with order accuracy, undercooked food, and instances of unprofessional or rude communication from staff. Though some diners consider it a hidden gem perfect for a casual meal, concerns about the changing quality of the food and lackluster service at certain locations have left some long-time customers feeling disappointed.

La bouf est bonne, le fromage n'est pas un vrai squik squik en grain & il en ajoute jamais assez pour la poutine.
Il y a souvent des erreurs dans les commende, oublie les sauces & etc.
Des fois le poulet yer sec sec.

Je vais là depuis des années.. je suis aller acheter un poulet combo familial 43$ ,c'est du poulet réchauffé secs , zéro frais! (j'habite 30' de distance & j'ai garder le poulet dans le chaud tout le long de mon chemin)… j'ai appelé & ils m'ont dit de le ramener pour qui me le change , j'ai expliqué que je ne peux pas partir de chez moi faire 1:30 total de chemin pour LEUR erreur (30 min aller chez moi, 30 min aller chez eux & un autre 30 min retourner chez moi , voyons !!) elle m'a dit qu'elle peut rien d'autre faire pour moi. Peut être ils vont me payer mon essence aussi pour tous ces voyages là? C'est sur que je retourne pas la ! Inacceptable! Allez y au supermarché acheter un poulet à 10$ & vous serez beaucoup plus satisfait, je vous le garantis!!
